Hi Laurent,

this is in my todo list. I wanted to send it separately because all 
these files are in gpu/drm/bridge/ and tda9950.c is in gpu/drm/.

Most of the times, maintainers ask for separate patches when several 
drivers are patched. For such clean-ups, I try at least to group them by 
directory.

Same answer the other files in input and sound. Patches will be sent in 
a few days.

I've also sent one for the documentation [1] and will send one for 
const_structs.checkpatch as well.
